The principles of massage treatment
have been known ever since cannibals
were discovered kneadng each others
stomachs to help the digestion of big dim
ners. but the process was never so popu-
lar as it is now. The reported treatment
of the President by masseur has
given the bus ness boom and massage
artists are in fair way to get rich.
But while the masseur is wearing the
flesh off fat people, he is himself los
ing strength and flesh by the hard and
slow work. Necessity has just become
the mother of another invention
whereby a sort of massage treatment
is applied by machinery run by steam.
The principal machine consists Of two
rubber pads about five inches long and
two inches wide, placed parallel to
each other and fastened so that they
adjust themselves to any part of the
body. They vibrate longitudinally-
that is, like a shoe brush. l, 200 times
minute. The patient, without renpov-
ing his clothes, lies down on a lounge
andd the masseur applies the rubbers
without exerting his own muscles much.

Furnishing Murderers.

The Lawrence Tribune says: 1--WE
believe that imprisonment for life at
hard labor is more severe punishment
Tor murder than hanging or any other
method of killing criminal."
AS matter of fact. perhaps it is and
perhaps it isn't. But it is certai My true
that it is not generally so regarded.
How many convicted murderers would
voluntarily accept the gallows in pre-
ference to imprisonment Not one in
ten thousand.
1t must be remembered that the
prime object of the law is not revenge
apon the criminals it is, first, to free
society from the danger of his presence,
and, second, to deter others from CON-
hitting similar crimes. The first pur-
pose is accomplished by either hanging
or Imprisonment, but the second is
much better subservcd by the former
han by the latter. The consequences
II all human actions re weighed in
he mind, even though is only by an
nstants reflection, beloe the deed is
committed. Laws with only slight
penalties attached are broken every
lay, while those with eavy penalties
are comparatively seld I'm infringed.
The natural horror of death that in
rests every mind. AMI especially of
death by such a disgrnc, full and revolt
ing process as hanging. is much more
potent as restraining influence than

Such career ought to afford encour-
agement to every clever and enterprs-
ing young man who is disposed to
grumble because his circumstances are
not what he would have them. Mr..
Brentano, too. was only one among
many who had risen in the same way
and in the same employment during
the period covered by his career in this
city. The men who are now at the
head of the great news companies were
generally trained to the business at
little news stands, and they have had
the industry and ability to grow with
the growth of the present method of
newspaper and periodical distribution.
Nor were their chances greater than
those which are all about us now.
Other employment as humble and lit
tie profitable rs the news business was
when Mr.. Brentano set up his stand on
Broadway may to-day be made the be-
ginning of fortunes. -NeO York san.

How Men Rise From Poverty.

The career of the late August Bren-
tano is worth the careful study of all
young men who are striving to get
ahead in life and especially OF those
who cry out that the hard conditions Of
their lot make the struggle for advance
ment hopeless.
There is not one of them in this
whole city who began life worse handi-
capped for the race than August Bren-
tano was. He came to New York about
u generation ago Il poor emigrant from
Austria. He could not speak OR Ian
guage. he was "A total stranger. and be-
sides he was afll cted with bodily de-
formities that would have crushed the
spirit of "A less resolute man, and per-
haps sent him down into the ranks Of
the permanently dependent Nature
had denied him the opportunity of earn
ing his living with his hands, Tor they
were twisted and greatly deformed, so
that he was debarred from nearly all
the cmployments open to his fellows.
The struggle for existence was, there
fore peculiarly hard for him, and the
the reasons for Encouragement were
extraordinarily great since, doubtless,
like all people so afflicted, his DISPOSE
ton was painfully sensitiva and he felt
that an evil and cruel fate had set him
apart from the run of men.
But Mr.. Brentano's bodily infirmi-
ties only made him the more self-rel-
ant and determined to surmount the
obstacles TO success. He WAS ready to
set himself to work at anything which
came in his way and was within his re-
stricted capacities. He would carry
and sell newspapers and though the
business was humble one. the labor
exhausting, and the rewards small, he
went into It at the first opportunity and
! pursued it with tirelcss zeal.
That was about thirty five years ago,
when New York newspapers were al
most wholly distributed by carriers
from house to house.

truth in few words when he said: This is
the way you workingmen have to suffer.
Look at your case. It drove you to drink, to

asylum. Your children will be sent to an in

delegate, who ordered the strike, is living on

result of an order from union that said en-
ployers should allow six days pay for five and
half days work-an order promulgated
through "a walking delegate" who exists only
to be despised, and who has no care for the
wives and children of men he 'orders out"

not see the folly of submitting to such out

Judge Carlton Explains the Real Import of
the Minority Report.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Oct. 1I-Judge A. B.
Carlton, chairman of the Utah Commission, in
an interview with a Gazette reporter. says:
"a short dispatch from Waehin gton has occa-
stoned considerable m;sapprehension with
eral newspapers as TO the real import OF
the minority report signed by Gen.
John A McClernand and myself. The
ultra anti-Mormons of Utah have for the last
five years. urged the commission to recommend
to Congress a legislative commission for Utah.
This plan has been characterized by Senator
Edmunds as 'tun-Amsrcan, revolutionary and
unconstitutional" and our commission have de-
clined to recommend it. Many anti
and further hostile legislation;
but McClernand and Carlton agree with Chief
justice Zane. of Utah, that the existing laws Of
Utah. diligently and strictly enforced. may be
reasonably relied to work the cessation of
polygauy practice and also
agree with Senator Cullom. of Him
OILS. and J. Randolph Tucker. of
Virginia in favor of amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States a means of
dealing with polygamv in all the States and Ter
rltories. On many occasions we have found it
impossible consc,entously to follow the advice
of the ultra non Mormons, consequently
them for five years. and
the authors Of the minority report are censured
in a virulent manner in some quarters really
for main tanning the aforesaid views. but on the
assumed ground that ara in a plot with the
Mormons for the admission of Utah. There is
no truth in this. On the contrary we expressly
declare non interference in our report"

practically abolishes his poverty An assist
ant secretary receives So, 900, and ST., 200 is
paid to three clerks. If this does not abolish
poverty for them it materially reduces it.
The current expenses of the Office, for station
cry, gas, ETC., are considerable, and the rent
for halls in which public meetings are held
is a big item. All these expenses are paid by
the sale of certificates of membership at ST.
each, and the contributions of people who

George is a Mos who can lead them out Of
the wilderness of poverty by some other road
than that of working and saving.

A Newspaper Tendency.


The mania for an afternoon issue has taken
possession of the New York morning papers,
with the exception of the Tribune and the
Times. For a long time the proprietor of the
Herald has published the Evening telegram
few months ago the Sun began the issue of an
evening edition. and this example was fol-
lowed by the Star and the World. There is no
such profit in an evening edition there is in
morning issue, but neither is there any such ex-
pence attached to evening edition. Tho
morning establishments very well afford to
issue in the afternoon If they choose take
the additional trouble and to impair to some ex-
tent the vigor Of their morning editions. One
thing hae oeen demonstrated by the Sun aud
the World-namely, that the afternoon issue
from their establishments is great improve
ment upon the merely afternoon newspapers
1t seems highly probable that the morning
newspapers will eventually occupy the entire
newspaper field. Nearly every morning news
paper establishment issues now a Sunday edi-
ton which has exclusive control of the news
field. The journals issued on Sunday alone are
not newspapers and do not pretend to give the
news. 1t seems reasonable to expect that event.
ually the exclusively afternoon papers will give
the news field to the afternoon issues of the
morning establishments and will devote their
columns TO literary miscellany. society gossip
and matters outside the province of news-eath-
erers. The facilities for news collection which
the morning newspapers are forced employ
can be made to serve for the Of afternoon
editions well, which must enable the morning
establishments to cover rhe news departments
more fully and at less expense than tho merely
afternoon papers can do.

PLATE PRINTING.
Expectation that the knights of Labor Will

Expectation that the knights of Labor Will
Demand that Machines Be Abandoned.
Washington Special
The Knights of Labor will probably make q
demand upon Congress to compel the Bureau Of
Engraving aud Printing to abandon the use of
steam plate printing machines. The report
comes here from Minneapolis that resolution
to that effect has been adopted by tho conven-
ton of the Knights of Labor The use of steam
printing machines has been made necessary by
an increased demand for bank notes and silver
certificates. and by the fact that limit of appro
priation and lack of space for men forbade an
increase in the mum Der of employees. The only
work on currency done by steam is the backs or
the one, two and fve-dollar silver certificates,
and comparison of the steam printed work
with that done by hand from the same plates
shows that the work from steam presses is in all
respects as good as that doue by hand. The
gain to the Treasury and the government was in
getting four times much work day by the
hand presses, the cost being about so per cent
less by the steam process. Eighteen steam
presses are now in operation in the bureau.
There have been discharges of plate printers
since the number of machines has increased and
the printers making better wages than at
any time since the organization of the bureau.
Chief Brooks of the secret service, who has been
quoted as discrediting the work of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. says he has been mis-
represented; that he regards the government pa
per money superior to any issued and the
management of the bureau entitled to the
strongest and heartiest commendation.

THEY have the "wide-open" policy up for
settlement in Philadelphia. The Personal
Liberty" gentlemen have thrown down the
gauntlet, and declared that Mayor Filter
must be defeated because he enforces the
laws against the all-night and Sunday saloons.
The Philadelphia Press, for the decent, law.
abiding people, accepts the issue. and the
lines are joined at that point. The Press says:
"When it becomes question of unfolding
Mayor Filter in his good work, and of main
tanning the sanctity of the American Sab
bath, the moral forces of this community will
rally with overwhelming might. There are
thousands of upright and high-minded Demo
Gratis who have sympathy with this cru
SADIE against American ideas and Institutions
There are hosts of thrifty and intelligent
Germans who do not approve the demand for
a free and unrestricted traffic We do not
say aught against them; but we tell the mot
ley combination of Socialists, Anarchists,
kckers, anti-sabbatarians and reckless Demo-
cratic managers that they are kindling fire
which will blast and consume their unhal-
lowed schemes!"
This combination, or "gang" will hardly
capture the city of Philadelphia just yet.

THERE is nothing unreasonable in Mayor
Denny's request to the Governor touching the
action of the notary public who administered
the oath to the person making the false affida-
Wit concerning Mr.. Denny just before the
election. The person who made the affidavit
has since voluntarily stated that he was so in
toxicated he did not know what he was doing.
This, together with the character of the aft
davit, should have put the notary on his in
quiry. Ia fact, no officer with proper regard
for the solemnity of oath would administer
one under such circumstances. Notaries
public commissioned by the Governor,
and a notarys commission may be revoked for
cause. If the notary in this case is uniustly
charged or suspected, he ought to be glad of
an opportunity to explain the matter and set
himself right. If he did knowingly admipis-
ter an oath to drunken man to alfalse and
scandalous affidavit ne is not fit to be notary
and his commission should be revoked. In
asking for an investigation of the matter May
or Denny simply exhibits the indignation
that any self-respecting person would do un-
der like circumstances.
